Dear Joshua Pilli, I am glad to know that UECF is going to release a Souvenir on the occasion of your 15th Anniversary. ‘Hearty congratulations’ to all the members of UECF. May you be filled with Heavenly joy and refresh with nearness of the Spirit to run the race that is set before you looking unto Jesus. Paul says, Philippians 3:12-14 “Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus”. I am happy for your activities to care for the total spiritual and physical needs of the body of christ. It is my prayer that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ. Once again Hearty Congratulation to you all. God Bless you ! Yours in His Service

Dr. Devasahayam Dandala

Dearly Beloved Brother Joshua and the family of UECF, Greetings to you in the most precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ with Romans 8:28 "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose”. I am so thankful to the Lord for all his grace, mercy and faithfulness towards UECF, for the last 15 years. The Lord has blessed your ministry abundantly and especially the web site ministry is a great blessing to the Telugu community around the Globe. I enjoy listening to the Christian songs from this web site especially while editing our monthly magazine “Spandana”. As you celebrate 15 years of God’s goodness, I was pondering the prominence of 15 and quickly came across the following interesting phenomenon: 1. Fifteen being a multiple of five, partakes of the importance of that number, also of the number three with which it is combined, 3x5. 2. Five is, as we have seen, the number of grace, and three is the number of divine perfection. Fifteen, therefore, specially refers to acts wrought by the energy of Divine grace. May the Lord add his richest blessings as you enter in to 16th year! May He crown the year with His bounty and your carts overflow with abundance! (Psalms 65:11). Just as the prophet Habakkuk prayed, it is our prayer for you - O LORD, REVIVE THY WORK IN THE MIDST OF THE YEARS (Habakkuk 3:2). I take this opportunity to thank the President and the leadership for the love and concern you have for me and for our work of the Lord in India and for giving me an opportunity to share the Word of God. I am also thankful to all the families that invite me to their homes for prayers and fellowship. We always remember those precious moments during our visit to UECF along with our spiritual mentor Acharya RRK Murthy in the year of 2008. All the Glory, Honor and Praise to His holy name! God Bless! Yours in His service,

Devasahayam Dandala

Dear brother Joshua (Phani) and the UECF Congregation, Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! It gives me great joy to know that United Evangelical Christian Fellowship (UECF) has reached an important milestone of 15 glorious years of service to the Lord. On behalf of Trinity Lutheran Church in Hyderabad and on my own behalf, I would like to congratulate United Evangelical Christian Fellowship (UECF) for the faithful service! UECF has been a great source of encouragement to many. Many servants of God from Andhra Pradesh and other states in India have shared the Word and were richly blessed. We praise the Lord for the unique style of UECF in spreading the gospel all over the world. We had a blessed opportunity to be part of the worship service at UECF and to personally meet and greet the congregation during the thanksgiving season. We always remember the warm welcome extended to us at UECF during our visit to USA in the year 2010. I take this opportunity to commend the UECF leadership, pastors and the congregation for their commitment and unity in continuing Lord's mission. May His grace and guidance be with you both for now as you celebrate the 15th Anniversary and strengthen you as you continue to do His will in the years to come! Blessings, Rev. Joseph N Vara Kumar Lam

I praise God for all the efforts you make in bringing together the Telugu Christians of all denominations in eastern USA to the praise and glory of God! I specially appreciate your zeal to edify the Fellowship through the teachings of well known preachers, by inviting them from time to time, in addition to the teachings of your regular pastors of good repute. I congratulate every member of your Fellowship for actively participating in every aspect of its development. May you all grow in His grace more and more in the years to come! A word of appreciation about your website: www.uecf.net. It is such a wonderful blessing, specially to the Telugu Christians in USA and other countries to be able to both read and listen to wonderful Christian literature, testimonies, music and songs from yesteryears to the present day, FREE OF ANY CHARGE!

I marvel at the energy and patience that go into the planning, preparation and implementation of the various segments of this great website.

Greetings! It gives us immense pleasure to learn that our beloved organization, United Evangelical Christian Fellowship, New Jersey is celebrating its 15th Anniversary! Hearty congratulations! It is indeed a time of festivity and great rejoicing! We deem it a privilege to have been associated with UECF for over a decade. We place on record, our appreciation to all those responsible for the up-bringing and maintenance of UECF. And also UECF’s website is just a Gospel World! It is bubbling with all varieties of worship, praise, music, lyrics, pictures, videos, movies – all exclusively for the glory of the Lord! No wonder, it is the most popular Gospel website for Indians, but maintained from the USA! We will be failing in our duty if we do not mention here, the pioneers of UECF, Bro. Syam Pilli & Bro. Joshua Pilli and their families for the consistent good work. May God bless UECF & all its associates to reap greater harvests in His Service!
